    One of the best albums till date. Every song is a special message where Katy talks about her past and moving on in life.

    THIS IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR! Aunque muchos fandoms esten calificando el album mal solo es por envidia! Y si escuchan el álbum de darán cuenta que es excelente. El mejor Álbum de la reina del pop Katy Perry hasta ahora.

    Katy has pivoted to.. boring! After the first two songs the album felt like a mission to stay awake to while listening. Katy Perry needs a long hard break.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Obra de arte. Para mi era imposible que Katy perry superará Teenage Dream, y este álbum me ha hecho darme cuenta que es el mejor álbum de Katy Perry hasta ahora. Ritmos increíbles y pegadizos, letras hermosas, Katy siempre ha tenido el talento de transmitir emociones y hacerte querer bailar y al mismo tiempo tener una letra increíble. Las críticas de este álbum no tienen lógica, no les hagan caso a las negativas, solo son de criticos que desearon ser artistas y no pudieron y tienen que conformarse con pensar que saben de música y escribir sobre eso, les gusta lo que esta de “moda” entonces ellos no son importantes como para tomarlos en cuenta. TD también tuvo criticas malas y fue el álbum que hizo que Katy Perry igualará un record de Michael Jackson, Prism fue #1 y también tuvo malas críticas al igual que Witness que fue #1. Entonces los criticos no valen la pena, ellos no importan. ESTE ÁLBUM ES HERMOSO, NO TIENE UNA CANCIÓN QUE SALTES, TODO ES INCREÍBLE. El mensaje de Katy en Only Love es hermoso, ritmos de cry about it later, champagne problems son incomparables. Sin duda Katy Perry demuestra una vez más que es LA REINA DEL POP. Expand

Just want to say if you don't like the artwork then keep it to urself. I made an accnt here because I saw in stan twitter that they are giving this album a 0 rating, This album does not deserve that if I can compare it to her other albums this can topped the TD era tho not in numbers and charts but the quality of music this record had. So again if you don't like the artwork just keep your m*therf*cking mouth shut up! Thank you have a nice day and keep safe during this pandemic♥️

    Ps. I love all the Pop girlies so lets support all of tgem❤️

    O álbum é perfeito! Mais uma vez Katy vem entregando tudo para os fãs. Poderia dizer que é melhor até mesmo que o Prism, só não supera o Teenage Dream. Katy entregou o trabalho que a faz feliz, sem se importar com a opinião de ninguém, nem mesmo de críticos. Felizmente Katy Perry única artista a pensar em tudo e em todos, mesmo em meio à uma pandemia, onde estamos todos de quarentena.O álbum é perfeito! Mais uma vez Katy vem entregando tudo para os fãs.

    A lot of people says the songs in here are just forgettable, maybe, they have Alzheimer's disease. There's no formula that's proven to make music a must-listen. Music depends on the work of the artist and to whom they dedicate it. Just like Camilla's words on her Havana music video, "if you don't like my story, go write your own!"

    Smile is an honest compilation of tracks that brands Katy

    Extremely good album, a happy album to cheer you up during the pandemic. My personal favourite would be cry about it later, harleys in hawaii and not the end of the world. The way all of the songs are positive and it makes u feel good. The production is well done too and the lyrics are definitely heartfelt. An album does not need to be “deep” to be good.

    That’s literally good body work. That’s not 10/10, but I don’t agree with critics, why do they always try to make her dirty? That’s unprofessional at all. Album feels like a story with 4 chapters. And it really works! That’s obviously one of the pest pop album this year, Katy did that, again.

    I've followed KP's career for so many years now and i gotta say this album is so generic and mediocre.
    She gave us masterpieces as teenage dream and prism and then ruined her whole career with witness and now this, smile.

It's clear that fans love it, it had a 9.5 user rating until you-know-who's fandom started giving it negative reviews. Regardless, this album is pure pop perfection. Cry About It Later and Not the End of the World are immediate standouts. Katy's lyricism is on point and fans of hers understand her struggles from the past few years on a deeper level. The production is also super clean and was reminiscent of an evolved version of PRISM. It is unfortunate that the single choices were so poor (besides Never Really Over) because Katy may have lost the general public's interest with Harley's in Hawaii or Daisies. All in all, Smile is my personal Album of the Year and this album is living proof that critics' opinions don't matter if your fans love it. Expand

    Me encanto el álbum, a pesar de ser en solitario, tiene mucho que dar a diferencia de colaboraciones que solo dejan mucho que desear.

    It’a a nice album to listen while you chill or drive... I personally love the upbeat take on the songs with powerful lyrics. A nice album in my opinion... As a LittleMonster to the freakin’ core, I can say that this is one of the best albums of the year alongside Dua and Gaga’s latest projects 7/10

    Great pop album, that's what I was missing in the pop scene. The videos are also amazing

    Without fleeting moments of bad taste, Perry does indeed sound mature, but she's also not quite as fun. That's a conscious choice, though. Smile is intended to evoke memories of her frivolous younger days while pointing toward a sustainable pop future.

    While Perry finds the occasional moment of quality here (Smile and Tucked both feel like the best possible music we could get from Katy Perry in 2020), Smile is an album searching for an identity—and when it fails, it falls back on lazy writing.

    Like Joanne before Chromatica, Smile plays like a necessary centering exercise, indulging her insecurities and less surefire instincts. If Witness was overdetermined, Smile is an earnest exhale, for better or for worse. It delivers an image of her journey towards inner peace that is honest (if corny) and catchy (if not exactly inventive).
